Resumes its Publication

Resumes its Publication.
CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-The Arbeiter
Zeitung continues to publish letters and
other information concerning the an
archists who were executed last week.
The paper tonight printed letter from
Lingg which was evidently written
after he had determined to commit sui
eide and after he knew that he would
not be allowed to speak on the Scatfold.
The letter is as follows:
Dear Friends: l am cut off from all
means of communication. | receive no
newspapers even. | therefore send you
my washing in the hope that you may
find this. l find myself in the best of
health and spirits in spite OF my isola-
ton, which will probably last till the
end Then the reporters can lie at will
about my last hours. l thought
at least to be able to tell
my hearers the truth OH the
scaffold, but this hope has also van
ished, and it does not suit me to be led
like a lamb to the slaughter. Every day
my cell is searched anew. Please also
go to Friedel's, at No. 405 Wells street.
My love to Elise and the others. L Will
not write direct 50 that the newspaper
spies cannot tell lies about her; she will
find it difficult enough while she dares
to love the Dangerous Anarchist Let
Elise and all my good friends read this
and please send copy of it to New
York. Now receive my heartfelt thanks
for YOUR trouble about me and all re-
ceive nv regards. Nit hOch die anar-
chic. Yours, LOUIS LINGG."
The Arbeiter Zeitung also contains
notice of action taken by the Karl Marx
Assembly, $3.50. X. of L.. setting apart
the 11th day of November of every year
for some ceremony in memory OF Our
MARTYRS. who were murdered for the
emancipation of the prOletariatS." 10

THE ALARM
of which Parsons, the anarchist, was
editor. will be issued for the first time
since the execution. The leading arti-
Gle. written by Dyer d. Lum, the sue
cessor of Parsons, says: The former ed
itor of the Alarm has been Strangled to
death by the state. The seal of legal
diSapprOval has been placed upon free
sreech. Hen .eforth wOrkingmen and
women must keep silent, or only clamor
for relief through lines laid down for
them. Relief may he asked, parties
NAV be organized, but opposition TO the
source of injustice by which relief be-
comes very necessary. changes frus-
trated and parties handicapped, is
heneefOrth throttled. Then the MAR
SeilIes" is forbidden to be sung at festi-
yals. Law. the father of all crime, the
source of all injustice, the barrier to all
voluntary cooperation stands grim and
red-handed over us. The duty of the
hour is now to wage the battle for
a free press Almost the entire paper
is taken up with reports of
the hanging and the funeral. The
Daily Business this evening says:
From the day that the anarchists were
executed the business on the board OF
trade has strangely and rapidly in
creased in volume, and prices of the
commodities there dealt in have adj
vanced There may be no connection
between the two, but there are those
who believe that one is the direct result
of the other.'' Il believe" said mem
Der of the board. that we are just at
the beginning Of an era of active and
prosperous business. which is likely to
grow to the proportions of the good
times of 1881. and J think the turning
point was the hanging of the anarchists.
The whole civilized world, and espe-
cially the commercial part of it, was
watching for the result of the grapple
between law and anarchy. The Or
derly and quiet manner in which the
supremacy of the law was proven has
inspired confidence, and the first result
of it is seen in better prices of stocks.
But the Willingness to invest will not be
confined to stocks; it will eventually
reach all lines of business, and we shall
see prosperous times. We are already
beginning to see them in the grain and
